In Response to Re: Grizzlies at Celtics Game Thread : Excuses. We are in a battle for home court advantage, not only with the Bulls but with the Lakers who are now 1/2 a game on top of the C's. Don't want another game 7 in Staples. We all know how that went.Posted by RicoCeltic

You're focused on the Lakers and Celts comparative records ??? That ship left a couple of weeks ago. The Celts will most likely be the 3 seed. The Lakers will probably end up losing 21 games this year and the Celts 24, considering the remaining schedules and the way these two teams are playing.

Yeah and Magic is a Laker fan. I'm sure he doesn't want the Celtics to upgrade and improve out ability to beat his team!

Larry bird when told Rondo can't shoot. "yeah, but he can play."

Bob Cousey on Rondo: ""I've been watching the Celtics for the last 50 years,'' said Cousy, who retired in 1963 but made a brief, forgettable comeback as a player-coach with Omaha-Kansas City in 1969. "And Rondo is the first point guard since moi that I've been really excited about."

In Response to Re: Grizzlies at Celtics Game Thread : You're underestimating J-Rich, Nelson, Hedo, Bass, Reddick, Ryan Anderson, Duhon, and Q-Rich. True that Nelson can't stop Rose, but can Rose stop Nelson from hitting floaters, jumpers, and 3-pointers? Rose will have to play defense also. Dwight Howard will have an easier time against Noah and Kurt Thomas. No one man can win a playoff series all by himself. Michael Jordan said that.Posted by Fierce-34

These inconsistencies is really a result of this team not practicing & taking days off in between games for the Vets to rest! It's not doing them any good sad to say. Doc needs to hold practices & not give them days off!!!! I don't know if theres any other team in the NBA that doesnt practice in between games. Shoot arounds arent enough for this squad!Posted by Ubuntu18

How can we complain about the starters having too many minutes then ask for the starters to go through full practices? Heck shaving 5 or 10 minutes off their play in a game is not as effective as eliminating a FULL PRACTICE.

I'm not saying you're wrong (maybe we do need the practices), but we can't complain about their minutes if we're going to send them to full practices!

Please provide the dates and sources on those quotes...In any case, AI, Areanas, TMack, Vince and many others were once considered stars. Rondo was a very temporary one hit wonder (thanks to the team)...I don't believe everything people say. Cird has sure made some player p[ersonel blunders... OPEN YOUR EYES.

thats really funny. I actually only watch about 25% of any game although I have the TV on and I can hear it...if the C's play at home I come running to watch when I hear loud cheering and go to the next room when they start losing or make bonehead plays (Rondo)... excpet I will always watch the last 4 miinites or so of any relatively close game.
